I found my moms old notes with airy fairy thoughts
Although they're five years old, that's what she was taught
She mentioned her past lives, she wrote what she had seen
And when I asked her why this is what she tells me
You don't know who, you don't know who
You don't know who you are til' you fall apart
With blueprints from your dominees commercial art
Lock all your love, play lord and lay down the law
But giving up control may be all you know
Maybe in the end it's all that you know (x4)
When the mind becomes the self labeled on her bookshelf
Her new polished off rocks, she swears she hears them talk
They mention her past lives maybe the saddest thing
And when I asked her why, this is what she tells me
You don't know who, you dont know who
You don't know who you are til' you fall apart
With blueprints from your dominees commercial art
Lock all your love, play lord and lay down the law
But giving up control may be all you know
You don't know who you are til' you fall apart (x6)
I'm giving up control (x4)
Maybe in the end it's all that you know (x4)

There's something about this song that captivates me every time it's played. From Libby's angelic vocals to the warm banjo throughout, this is the song that should get you hooked on her music. Jake
